@AusAidan Thank you (I think!) 💙💛

Voted for @thejamalhakim you seem the least worse option for mayor of Melbourne <3

@notcherylkernot Exactly. It’ll be down to preferences in the end

@thejamalhakim It’s going to be really close - can’t see any candidate getting over 25% on primaries.

🚨🚨 Please read and share! 🚨🚨 @Channel9 is holding a mayoral debate this week—without me. Despite being a councillor for Melbourne & having a clear platform for a cleaner, safer, & more affordable city, I’ve been excluded. This isn’t just bias; it’s a direct attack on democracy. #JusticeForMelbourne #LordMayorElection instagram.com/reel/DBV1u3VRY… Authorised by J Hakim, PO BOX 23238 Docklands, Vic 8012

@Awesomisation @Channel9 Yep!

@thejamalhakim @Channel9 Team Property Developers is on the debate, eh?

They say it takes a village to raise a child, and Melbourne will be that village. Our Family City Policy will provide the social, economic, and cultural support families need to thrive, no matter the form. If you think our plan to make Melbourne the most family-friendly city in the world sounds ideal, feel free to share this post with your networks. 🙏🏽 teamhakim.au

The policy introduces a series of costed, actionable commitments designed to reduce the cost of living, strengthen community ties, and improve family well-being across the city, such as: 📍Family-friendly and inclusive public spaces 📍 Regular public toilet accessibility reviews and upgrades 📍Rebranding maternal and child health services to parental and child health services 📍A Ratepayer Family Card 📍Ongoing advocacy for education access 📍 Family-friendly workplace grants 📍 Strengthening the Toy Library program

Can Melbourne be the most family-friendly city in the 🌎? Yes! But only if you ​​🗳️for Team Hakim! When I say that I want Melbourne to be a city that welcomes and works for everyone, I truly mean it. I want Melbourne to be the best place in the world to raise a family, no matter the shape or size of that family. That's why I’m running for Lord Mayor with a transformative plan for families: Team Hakim’s Family City Policy. 📌teamhakim.au/family_city_po… Authorised by J Hakim, PO BOX 23238 Docklands, Vic 8012

@notcherylkernot That’s what he’d say Ofcourse!

@thejamalhakim Spoke to Aaron Wood at the north Melb festival and he said you have no chance and it was between him and Reece ..

@Awesomisation @Channel9 Kouta is.

@thejamalhakim @Channel9 Is Team Kouta on the debate? Or the Rip Up The Bike Lanes mob?

@_esther It is melbourne fashion week after all!

Melbourne’s diversity is its strength. When media outlets like Channel Nine suppress candidates who represent that diversity, they’re suppressing the democratic process. Let’s hold them accountable & fight for a fairer city! #JusticeForMelbourne #EveryVoiceCounts

I stand for a Melbourne that works for everyone—not just those with media connections. Our future is too important to be decided by a select few. It’s time to demand a fair debate and better coverage of the issues. #JusticeForMelbourne #OurCityOurFuture

@Llib7 Thank you Tyler, I'm grateful for your support. 😃

Actual policies. I honestly hadn’t heard of Jamal before this campaign but what he says makes sense and planners can agree. It’s this or nonsensical stuff from football players or reactionaries that don’t understand how cities work.

Because with Team Hakim, equality, inclusion, and accessibility will never be out of the question. Of course, the above is just an overview of our very extensive Active Transport and Congestion Busting Policy. You can read more about it and the rest of our completely costed, expert-led policies over at teamhakim.au. Got thoughts or questions? Let me know! 💬

Under this policy, Team Hakim will: ➡️Conduct a traffic and congestion review in partnership with the Victorian Government. ➡️Create more pedestrian scramble crossings. ➡️Revamp loading zones. ➡️Advocate for free public transport during peak hours. ➡️Extend the Elizabeth Street tram. ➡️Enhance cycling infrastructure. ➡️Improve e-scooter safety. ➡️Improve accessibility to public spaces.

Melbourne's population will double by 2041. Managing this population boom will require a council with a robust strategic plan. 📝 While this plan must be created and costed with extensive expert consultation, it also absolutely must work for everyone, including families, people living with disabilities, and people with varying economic and life circumstances. What’s that plan? ✅Our Active Transport and Congestion Busting Policy. ✅ 👉🏽teamhakim.au/active_transpo… Authorised by J Hakim, PO BOX 23238 Docklands, Vic 8012

Hands off Royal Park! 👐🌳 Green spaces are absolutely vital to safe, healthy and family-friendly cities. That's why #TeamHakim has pledged to protect Melbourne’s parklands, condemning recent statements from Leader of the Opposition John Pesutto and the Liberal Party supporting the East West Link – a project that would carve up Royal Park. Read our media release, with statements from Team Hakim council candidate, @Red_Black_Archi, about why it is crucial that we fight to protect green spaces. I'm honoured to be running alongside somebody so committed to the well-being of our city. 📍teamhakim.au/mediarelease_t… Authorised by J Hakim, PO BOX 23238 Docklands, Vic 8012
